Check.jpg NEW - PART FILES Now CONTAIN the Push Bend Profile Data

  • The Push Bend Profile data is now SAVED INSIDE the part files, and LOADED with part files.

  • This allows the data built up for a part to follow that part file when reloaded or transferred to other benders.

Check.jpg NEW - Push Bend TYPE: Fixed Radius - SIMPLE

  • The new FIXED RADIUS SIMPLE Push Bend type allows you to enter the actual values of travel for the feed, rotate, and bend arm axes.



  • No special generation of the Feed axis movement is created like when the FIXED RADIUS - GENERATED. Whatever you enter is what is used.

Check.jpg NEW - SELECT Push Bend Profile Window for BEND OPTIONS

  • A new Push Bend Profile selection menu makes selecting Push Bend Profiles much easier and more powerful than the simple list used in previous versions.

  • This allows CNC Bender to separate the different types of Push Bends into different lists for less confusion during choosing a profile for a bend.

Check.jpg NEW - BEND OPTIONS uses Push Bend SETUP Menu TO SELECT Profiles

The Push Bend Profiles are now selected from within the Push Bend Profile Setup menu. This makes selection much simpler and more powerful. It also allows for profiles to be added, edited, or added while you are adding them.

Select from Tabbed Setup Menu Select the Push Bend Profile from the the actual Push Bend Profile Setup Window
Edit While Adding to Bend Options Edit a Push Bend Profile as you adding it to a Bend Option.
Adust Values While Adding to Bend Option Adjust the Push Bend Profile from inside the Bend Option.

When entering the Push Bend Profile Setup menu this way, the Grid Mode is set to "Select Row".

If the Push Bend Profile Name already in the Bend Option exists in the Setup List, then the correct tab menu and profile will be selected for you when you enter the menu from Bend Options.

  • When CNC Bender is in the Low Level menu.
  • When the CNC Bender numeric keypad is active.
